Donald Trump has now eliminated his own benefit of the confusion, Olbermann said. The Trump-Russia cover-up case is now about threatening people and firing people and pressuring people to keep them from investigating you and your colleagues.

Olbermann listed 17 possible charges he said Trump could face in impeachment proceedings before Congress and even raised the specter of criminal prosecution afterward related to six suspected crimes all from last week, before news reports surfaced Monday accusing the president of leaking highly classified information to Russia.

The smoke doesnt matter anymore, Olbermann warned. Who needs Russian smoke when the White House is on fire?
